What tool do you use to write PDFs?

I'm on the way to compile my first eBook, it is about paypal and will be released in a month or so...

what software do you recommend to write PDFs?

Thanks,
Richard.

 

OpenOffice.Org has built-in support for PDF creation, but if you're using an other word processor you should have a look at Adobe Acrobat (not reader), which I have good experience with, or the more affordable PDF995.

 

LaTeX (pronounced "latek") for me. It's the only real and professional typesetting free environment out there. Not that OpenOffice produces ugly results, but LaTeX is much much better.

Best of all its free.

 

I use Adobe Acrobat, even though I wish it wouldn't automatically embed itself in everything.

 

best of the best is adobe acrobat - but you have to pay for it.

for something free, cutepdf is good.

 

Thanks guys!

I used a printer driver called PrimoPDF, it's great and for free.
I wanted to show you te results but i can't post live links here

 

Have you tried Writely.com...I've heard it's gone "by invite only" but it will produce pdfs...works great and free.

 

One annoying thing with PDF printer drivers is that you cannot get control of links...

 

thums up for adobe acrobat ____

 

I use a php script implemented on one of my sites.
